Well, it depends on how you want to get that BTC. You could purchase, trade, mine, do tasks (or provide some service) or play with some faucets.
Currently, 0.000001 is worth around $0.018 which would be just "dust" (an amount so small it's basically useless). Before actually owning a significant amount of Bitcoin though, it's okay to start from low amounts just to play with it.
I'd advise you to care about your privacy straight from the start. Hence, no matter what you do, try to avoid giving out personal information and completing Know-Your-Customer (KYC) forms. You do
not need to prove someone your identity to use Bitcoin. With BTC, you're your own bank. One more thing I'd advise you not to do is use centralized/custodial services. If there is a decentralized option, while it may cost more money and/or time, it is worth it in the end. Your personal information is worth a
lot of money. I would say it's actually priceless.
Now the first thing you can do is
read. Try to gather as much information as possible from many sources, because the more you know, the better you will be. You can start off by reading the
original whitepaper, exploring the
Bitcoin Wiki and
Bitcoin.org's Getting Started page with the documentation for newcomers. Another website I particularly love is
Bitcoin Privacy Guide. If after these two you find privacy an interesting subject, you may find
Wasabi Wallet's documentation interesting as well. They offer a ton of very helpful information - especially for protecting your digital identity - which is easy to understand for anyone .. even newbies.
If you want to start using a wallet, I'd suggest you use
Electrum as it's non-custodial and has a lot of functions you can play with. Remember to
always save your seed when creating your first wallet. The seed is a backup phrase for your funds. If you don't have it, there's nobody who can help you with the recovery of your funds. Storing seed properly means storing it
offline, such as on a piece of paper. When you'll have more money in a wallet, you may consider storing your seed on a metal to protect it from fire and other risks paper storage comes with over time.
The
Wasabi Wallet I linked you to above is amazing, but in my opinion it's too advanced for a newbie. Hence, just go for Electrum. Electrum has
its own documentation page as well.
Mining is quite hard to start with today without a huge load of money to spend on mining equipment, because it requires a lot of money to invest and re-invest and in the end you may end up earning as much Bitcoin as you'd pay for electricity used to mine it - or even less than that.
I'll help you out with your first transaction.
Try downloading
Electrum, launch it and create a wallet. To make it easier for you, choose the following upon the initial launch:
1. Auto connect
2. Give your wallet a name
3. Standard wallet
4. Create a new seed
5. Segwit
6. Write down the given seed on a piece of paper and push Next
6. Write the seed you now have on paper in the empty box and push Next
7. Enter (if you want) a password to secure your wallet and you're done!
Now go to the Receive tab and get yourself a receiving address by pushing the "Request" button. Post your address here as a reply (should be in the right side of Electrum, starting with "bc1"), and I will give you a thousand satoshis (0.00001). Your next task will be sending it back to me, so that you know both how receiving and spending works.
